How can we help?

Recent Power Outages

The University of Houston has recently experienced campus wide power outages that were not scheduled. While the University is working towards resolving any potential issues moving forward, some members of our University community may have experienced damage to equipment or loss of their work as a result of the fluctuations of electricity.

In order to ensure that all potential claims are accounted for, we request that anyone who has experienced a loss due to these power outages complete this property claim form. Time is of the essence in reporting claims, so please complete the form and send it to Risk Management as soon as possible. We are here to help.

Injured on the job?

If you suffer an on the job injury, the clock starts ticking. As per the University of Houston's policy, an injured employee has 48 hours to complete the appropriate forms in order to report the incident.

Avoid the possibility of having coverage denied for late reporting. Contact your immediate supervisor immediately after an incident.

If so, it is the University of Houston's policy that all such drivers, even students or people not employed by the University, must be approved by the Office of Risk Management by way of an MVR check.

Just complete the MVR Request form, follow the instructions, and we will take care of the rest!
